E.O. 12958: N/A 
TAGS:          
SUBJECT: SLOVAKIA WILL NOT SUPPORT POSTPONING UN BUDGET 
DECISION 
 
REF: SECSTATE 168902 
 
 1. Poloff delivered reftel demarche to Denisa Frelichova at 
the UN and International Organizations Department at MFA. 
Frelichova said that postponing final action on the UN budget 
(option A in reftel) is a "red line" for Slovakia and the EU. 
She said Slovakia's team in New York has a wide mandate to 
agree to almost any other option, and said a rollover of the 
budget with a minimal increase is Slovakia's preferred 
option. She added, however, that a seven percent increase is 
probably less than can be agreed given the cost of new 
mandates the UN Secretariat has been given in the last year.
